Don't have 2 phones to test. Theoretically you should activate on both WiFi direct (it's in WiFi settings). You will loose any wifi internet connection cause it cannot work both as WiFi direct and internet connection. Then I saw in the application that you have search and I guess you should press that and list of compatible devices are shown. Then select the other in the list and connect. But as I said this is only theory for me since I cannot test
[HTC Desire S] buzzboy:
Astonished by battery drain, been in sleep mostly, but Wifi is set to always on.

Love it.

Regards and continued thanks.
[HTC Desire S] simeonoff:
Ditto that, btw.
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
I do have 2 phones to test it. And I can't get the bloody thing to work. Its been driving me mad. Once we get it working it will be a great feature. And it implementation will be very similar to how you would transfer a file over Bluetooth
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Theoretically, it's MUCH faster than bluetooth. I tested this with an SGS II, but it just won't work. Maybe the problem is hardware related, maybe our devices just aren't supported.
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
I have the same issue on my galaxy nexus. I tested using a SGS2 the other day and nothing I did enabled the SGS2 to detect my device.
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
I read it in website that to use wifi direct we need only one device to have this feature.. even if the other device doesn't have it will work. And you don't need to have two handset, you can connect it to your laptop's wifi. But the damn thing is not working only :(
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
It is a competitor of upcoming Bluetooth 4.;)
[HTC Desire S] rayulove69:
From what I read a device needs to be certified wifi direct compatible to be able to used it as a feature which gives a blurry idea of this being a hardware thing cause from what I know desire S doesnt contain that certification of applicability.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Just realised what pressing settings in the notification bar does. That was absolutely amazing!!!
[HTC Desire S] niblettr:
Imediashare doesn't detect my TV :(
[HTC Desire S] CoolButcher:
Found one more: with centered text in battery icon enabled and charging you see shown text and the charge symbol, so it's hardly readable (I assume the text is just an overlay, easiest way would be to let it vanish when charging.).

Messages shortcut in the lock screen, screenshot and power save mode in power menu are what I found different than beta.

Always fast and smooth
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
These were in beta 3 as well...dunno about the messaging shortcut on lockscreen. Flashing now to see
[HTC Desire S] buzzboy:
Cheers for the update, keeps getting better.

Hard to believe this is a Beta, and for the first time ever, Gingerbread seems dull. This is getting exciting.

Regards to the dream team.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Changes that I've noticed in beta4 compared to beta 3:

1. ROM Control renamed to Quattro Control (liked very much since I'm an Audi fan :))

2. There's a new option to have the toggles in notification bar visible all the time. No need to press settings icon every time, but it's not preserved after a reboot.

3. The flash charging symbol is no longer shown when battery percentage is also shown (it was somebody suggesting this earlier for better readability)

4. Gallery app and some others are blazing fast...almost display instantly. I must admit I didn't check that on beta 3 so I don't know if it's an improvement in beta 4 ...but it's the fastest redraw I've ever seen on an ICS build.

5. Definitely something has changed to the EGL/HW accel... Everything is faster, all apps are opening faster, messaging, mail, market, even the speed of displaying the keyboard has changed...dunno what you did guys but keep it up. First ICS ROM that had for me 2100+ points in quadrant (all were around 1700-2000 till now, OCed to 1305.6)

CRT off animation still doesn't work even if it has a check-box in Quattro Control
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
2nd and 3rd were already there in beta 3 mate.
[HTC Desire S] biglsd:
cjward23:

Can you provide also clean AOSP rom build without google stuff?
[HTC Desire S] luky4:
cjward23:

Why must each make a Full wipe upgrade?
[HTC Desire S] onlyankush_s:
No, just clear the cache and dalvik and you can proceed. But full wipe is always recommended and is best.
[HTC Desire S] luky4:
What are the visual changes between Beta-3 and Beta-4?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
None as far as I see, but graphic speed is improved alot. Now I've noticed this also when screen is rotated...the redraw is much faster

Sent from nowhere, over the air...
[HTC Desire S] CoolButcher:
I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but I still see the flash symbol with text when charging...

Can someone confirm one of the statements?
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
I've tested again right now and there's no flash sign when charging (see attached)

Another strange thing... In Skype now I have the video call button active even if it doesn't work. Is like Skype senses a camera present but cannot use it. Till now there was no video call option

Sent from nowhere, over the air...
[HTC Desire S] CoolButcher:
I see a flash there ;-) just remove or un-center the text when charging and you'll see it...
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
You're right somehow :) There is something but not the whole flash sign that's showing when no percentage is shown. It's something smaller. When the flash it's shown, the sign is bigger than the text so if it was shown it was also going below the text and that's not the case. There is something appearing in the center of text, maybe only part of the flash is shown. For me it's readable anyways and I also have a widget that shows battery percentage and temperature onscreen so it's not something that bothers me alot.

tethering

Hi, can someone clear something up for me please.

Tethering as I understand it is sharing mobile data connection onto laptop via usb cable (or bluetooth-wifi) right?

What is it called when I share the computers internet access onto phone via usb (or bluetooth-wifi) and can I do it with this rom?

I used to be able to do it on gingerbread.

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] woti23:
lockscreen crashes with reboot when messages app is missing (i.e. replaced with go sms)
[HTC Desire S] mmarks:
I've been through each of the 4 betas now and what I can tell (compared to beta1) is that GPS is now stable (it used to drop the GPS connection every few minutes) and music no longer stutters (I stream AAC+ from the phone to my bluetooth car stereo).

All in all - very impressed.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
You understood right, it's called tethering. Using computer's internet connection on the mobile (the other way around) it's called "reversed tethering" (at least this is the terminology I saw it's used).

You cannot use it now on ICS and I couldn't find any 3rd party application that can do this. For sure when a port of an ICS Sense ROM will be made, this option will be available (I saw it in sense ROMs). Maybe there are programs that allow this but I'm not aware of any.
[HTC Desire S] niblettr:
Thank you for clearing that up for me.

Beta 4 Changelog
[HTC Desire S] crescal:
I think you are right. previously camera 360 complained that it could not find a camera. But now it don't complain, it FC. Definitely some progress in the camera thingy:D
[HTC Desire S] simeonoff:
@Rapier.

I think you are experiencing the so-called "carwash" effect. I don't see any improvement in terms of gpu. Games still won't play(at least the ones I am testing with), 720p videos still won't start using H/W decoders. Transitions between screens, as well as app drawer animation, are still far from smooth. Yes, the lag is not unbearable but it's there. All that, I believe, is still related to the partial gpu support.

Other than that, it runs fine. Quadrant scored 2100@1,3Ghz in beta 3, scores the same in beta 4. Gallery opens same as before, and so does every other app. Not trying to be a s.o.b here, neither do I complain, just trying to be objective.
[HTC Desire S] flykthewiz:
How do you change lock screen shortcuts
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
Currently they are not able to be customized
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
No worries, I've just said what I've noticed. Dunno your particular setup, I was flashing over beta 3 that was my daily ROM (no wipe between) and all seemed to be faster. I've tried also CM and beta8r2, r3 and r4 from m-deejay/superkid and in terms of smoothness this is best. Don't know about games cause I don't play them (tell me one to test please) and all videos I've played were ok. I am using MX player for video and even before on Gingerbread I was using software decoder setup in it because HW decoder was not working.

Sent from nowhere, over the air...
[HTC Desire S] simeonoff:
And this is the essence of why forums exist - so people can share their experiences and learn from one another :) As for the flashing process. I did the same as you. Just wiped caches and upgraded from beta 3. If you wanna test a game, just open the market, hit the games tab, there is gonna be a game called Frontline Commando (a free one). Install and see how the game crashes. This is the case with most of the games I own. Some start and are playable, but most of the games that I own are completely unplayable. Again, not complaining, just saying for those of you mobile gamers out there. :)
[HTC Desire S] docertabum:
am I just me or all of you have just ON or OFF buttons without any description in pulldown menu? Because now I just can guess what I turned on or off :) Or is it possible to change it somehow? thx
[HTC Desire S] simeonoff:
I can see descriptions in my toggles.
[HTC Desire S] meinnameisthase:
>> System settings >> Quattro Control >> Status Bar >> Toggle Layout

If you check "Alternate Toggles" and Toggle Style "Text only", you'll see what the button is for.
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
The same here! I use OC/UV Beater V2 for settings!
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Go to Settings - Quattro Control - Toggle layout (under Statusbar options) - Toggle style (in Advanced settings). Choose "Text only" or "Icon and Text". There are no Icons so if you have selected one of the options that does not include "text" you'll see only the switches without description.

@simeonoff - You made me curious, I've downloaded some test videos (720p and 1080p). You're right, for 720p HW decoder is not available. For 1080p is available but video playback is choppy. SW decoder runs smooth tho. I'll try the games also. I might be wrong but as I said I was using also beta 3 and it it didn't run so smooth as 4. I am using GO Launcher EX though, not Trebuchet and I have no lag at all when swiping screens, open drawer, etc. Before beta 4 I had this. Also what I said about opening applications, for me they are opening faster...at least mail, messaging and skype. When I switch from them or return to an open one, it does it almost instantly, before I had some lag before I could effectively use it (for ex in skype when I was pressing it in notif bar, after it was opening it was taking several secs till I could write or go to contacts)

Issue with Viber

I'm having problem loading Viber. Viber used to work fine with previous build of ICS (esp all superkid versions). I've successfully installed viber and activated as well. But when I click on the viber icon , a blank screen appears for few seconds and desktop appears without any message. Is it just for me or someone else is having a similar problem?
[HTC Desire S] throbarik:
Problem with specific games

Can anyone confirm the problem with running specific games (based on unity 3d engine) like jelly defense, air attack hd, frontline commando. They worked in beta 1 I think, now they don't even start.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
This is what I've discussed in the last posts with simeonoff. He was saying the same thing that games do not work. I have also installed FL Commando to test and I have the same behavior as you...game do not even start, the screen rotates to landscape but next second game closes.

Beta 2 worked though.

Still, imediashare doesnt work any more.
[HTC Desire S] Ovigo:
Just flashed Beta 4. Nice set of options now! Not all work though. Erratic behavior I noticed:

Power menu settings don't seem to work in Beta 4. Both screenshot and powersaver are not showed whatever the setting is.

Also, as mentioned, LED-indication for email doesn't work.

Also, as a default, using default settings behavior under statusbar-general is unchecked. Seems unlogic to me.

As mentioned, no Icons present for the toggles.
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
You need to press the settings icons in the notification bar to get the toggles to show up.
[HTC Desire S] mixalakis32:
This is why releases are called alpha or beta. Some things work some not. Stop arguing, report problems and help devs to solve them.

[HTC Desire S] admds:
Just had a look at viber on the market and there are soooooo many comments stating that it is not working on the new nexus s. so i think it is lack of ICS support by the developer.
[HTC Desire S] Ovigo:
Yes, I noticed that, and like it very much. I was talking about the only text/only icon/text+icon/no text no icon switch.

It suggest some sort of icon (like in the normal settings menu) could be showed instead of or aside the text it now displays beside the switches. These icons are not present though, whatever the setting is.

I know these settings are WIP, just trying to contribute my little stone.
[HTC Desire S] chubby65:
Yeah I too have that problem but other than that no complaints from me amazed how fast this rom is

IT'S AWESOME GUYS THANKS
[HTC Desire S] BeDesireS:
haxsync is also working fine for me! No problems here with beta 4!

Issue with Viber

Yes, you are correct, It's problem with Viber/ICS. I may have installed viber with Gingerbread. I just tried installing viber in superkid beta8r4a and it didn't worked there as well.

I'd never used viber when it was working fine in gingerbread. Now it does not work in ICS and I want to use it. funny human nature :P

same goes for camera. I've never used it before, except for testing.

[HTC Desire S] enomis27:
thanx man...it's all ok now...someone can explain me what does "AP" mean? thanx in advance :D
[HTC Desire S] Ovigo:
Access point. In this case WiFi access point. To tether your phone with laptop etc. to share it's internet connection.
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
AP = Access Point. So the term refers to WiFi Access Point. That is, you turn your mobile into an wifi access point to which another device (phone, laptop, etc) can connect and use the Mobile Data on your phone to access Internet. On short, it's WiFi tethering. The difference is that more than one device can connect to the AP at the same time compared to a regular tethering solution.

No such problem here.

Only 1 hour unconnected but still showing 100%.

I know it's only 1 hour but if yours decharged over an 8-hour-something timespan, that means around 10% per hour.
